Regarding the conditions proposed by Fu Changzong on behalf of the imperial court, Zhu Xu deliberately hung for a while and said, "Govern the country according to law." ”

Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu and pondered his words.

'Governing the country according to law', this 'law' contains a lot, in addition to the explicit laws, ancestral ritual laws, conventions and customs, and 'Tianxian', that is, the emperor's words, not only Zhu Xu, but also the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Fu Changzong didn't know if Zhu Xu's words were referring to the 'succession law', and such vague wording could not dispel the imperial court and stop the mouths of the Manchu civil and military forces.

If there is no suitable statement today, the Ming Dynasty will not live in peace.

Fu Changzong wandered around in his heart for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, now that the government and the opposition are boiling, if you can't have a safe explanation, I'm afraid that it will become more and more intense, and it will be difficult to clean up, and the 'New Deal' will also be greatly affected." ”

Zhu Xu quietly soaked the hot pot and drank some wine, as if he had been thinking about Fu Changzong's words.

I don't know how long it took, Fu Changzong didn't seem to be able to wait any longer, he didn't say anything, Zhang Yun smiled and said: "Uncle, the matter of Uncle Jianming is required by this palace." As a foreign relative, he said that at the least he was forming a party for personal gain, and at worst he was plotting against him. Your outer court is helping him talk like this, do you want to help our mother and son, or do you want to harm us? ”

This sentence was uttered by a queen, what a heartbreak!

Fu Changzong's expression changed slightly, he quickly got up, raised his hand and said, "Don't dare!" ”

Zhang Yun sat upright, his pretty face was cold, and said: "This palace is the lord of the six palaces, and these children are also regarded as their own, you are going to be crowned king now and driven out of Beijing, do you mean that I can't tolerate people, saying that the emperor's harem is not peaceful?" How do you plan to write about the emperor, the palace, and the future emperor in the history books of future generations? ”

Fu Changzong's brows furrowed, and his expression was solemn. He didn't expect that this queen mother, who had always been inconspicuous, would have such a sharp tongue and block him from speaking.

Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu, knelt down and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the ministers are worried about the country, and they do not intend to frame the mother and the prince, if there is an offense, the ministers are willing to admit the death penalty!" ”

Fu Changzong was the person who followed Zhu Xu the longest, and he understood in an instant that these words were actually said by Zhu Xu to Zhang Yun's mouth, but the play that should be played must be missing.

Zhang Yun turned his head to look at the palace maid not far away, and said, "Go and bring the Fourth Highness." ”

Listening to the words 'Four Highnesses', Fu Changzong knew that he was going to return in vain today. I wondered in my heart whether I should find another opportunity to talk to Zhu Xu alone, this matter involves the country, and the government and the opposition will never stop so easily. Even if there is no protracted 'struggle over the country', a rambling battle is essential.

Soon, a palace maid hugged Zhu Xu's fourth son, Zhu Cixuan, the prince of the prince.

Zhang Yun hugged the child, looked at Fu Changzong, and said, "Old Fu Ge, Xu'er is still young, the emperor is still young, and the adults in the outer court are now in a hurry to establish the prince, what are you thinking about?" ”

This sentence is even more heartbreaking, if ordinary people hear this sentence, it is estimated that death is not far away.

But Fu Changzong was an exception, he listened to Zhang Yun's words, his head hit the ground, and after a moment, he said four words: "The ministers don't dare." ”

Of course, Zhang Yun's words were not for Fu Changzong, she looked down at Fu Changzong, and said coldly for a long time, "Fu Ge Lao, you pass on these words from this palace to the cabinet, if they still insist on going their own way and framing this palace and Xu'er, this palace will ask for responsibility and abolish the position of queen." The cabinet is not allowed to escape the charge of 'shaking the country's foundation and causing chaos to the government'! ”

Fu Changzong listened to Zhang Yun's words and understood what Zhu Xu meant. But he still didn't understand why Zhu Xu did this.

Common sense speaking, even if you are upright and strong, you can not set up a prince, why does it always give people the impression that he doesn't like the prince and wants to establish it again?

Even if he really has this idea, with Zhu Xu's means, he can completely plot slowly, so that he doesn't know the ghosts.

Fu Changzong thought of this, suddenly his heart jumped, and an idea appeared in his heart, but it disappeared in an instant, he wanted to think about it, but he didn't have time, so he had to say to Zhang Yun: "The minister understands." ”

Zhang Yun hugged Zhu Cixuan and shook it gently. The little one was still asleep, moving the corners of his mouth from time to time.

Fu Changzong waited for a while and said, "The minister retires." ”

This can be regarded as a scene that he and Zhu Xu have acted in a play that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and they know each other well and do not need to be broken.

Fu Changzong could still hear the laughter of Zhu Xu's family when he left the Qianqing Palace, and his heart became more and more strange, especially the strange feeling before.

He did not go to the cabinet, but turned around and went to the marshal's mansion.

Sun Chengzong was very surprised by Fu Changzong's visit, served tea, and said with a smile: "It's the first time Master Fu has come to me, right?" ”

In the end, the Generalissimo's Mansion is a military institution, and it is too taboo for civilian officials to get close, not only Fu Changzong, but also other civil officials of the imperial court have hardly come.

Fu Changzong drank tea, looked at Sun Chengzong scrutinically, and said: "The queen mother accused us of being ill-intentioned and dissociating the emperor, and her tone was quite harsh, and she was still in front of the emperor. ”

Sun Chengzong's eyes were slight, and he remembered the "national capital dispute" in the Wanli period, in which the queen Wang was affected, that is, Zhu Xu's grandmother.

She was abused and died depressed.

Regarding the obscurity of this matter, Sun Chengzong naturally didn't talk about it, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor still refuses to let go?" ”

Fu Changzong looked at Sun Chengzong's face without worry, sighed lightly, and said, "We are worried about this matter, but we didn't expect that the boss had already seen the heavens, but it made us work hard......

Sun Chengzong was stunned, looked at Fu Changzong, and said hesitantly: "The old man has insight into heaven? ”

Fu Changzong still couldn't figure it out in his heart now, and said with an unmoved expression: "I have always hated and doubted the emperor's purpose, and I hope I can't understand it after thinking about it. ”

Sun Chengzong looked at the stunned expression on Fu Changzong's face, he didn't know if there was a deception, and then sighed silently, and said abruptly: "Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been bloodstained, the emperor is eloquent, his vision is high, and he can make an early move, or it may be possible to eliminate the calamity and cause Xiao Wall, it is not necessary to wronged the Great Highness." ”

Fu Changzong originally couldn't think it through, but now he understands it thoroughly.

Zhu Xu is using His Royal Highness as a shield to protect the prince.

This prince is still in infancy, but he doesn't know how many supporters he has, and he is in the weakness of being "suppressed", who can attack, what is calculated?

Sun Chengzong didn't notice Fu Changzong's expression, looked outside the door, a look of relief appeared on his face, and said, "This is the emperor's painstaking work, everything is for my Ming Dynasty, whether I see through it or not, I have to accompany the play, and I have to ......be real."
